"What if the Classical Masters had access to Electric Guitars, Amps, Fuzz Boxes, Wah Wah pedals, Digital Delays and Flangers? For your listening pleasure I have emulated a string quintet on this most famous classical selection with my 68' Gibson SG."
Canon in D Major - Pachelbel Canon in D Major - Pachelbel
"Johann Pachelbel was a German Baroque composer and organist. I have interepreted the string quartet instrumentation with more than 50 multi-track overdubs utilizing just the electric guitar, I am positive you will enjoy this performance."

"This was a grand undertaking in my development while learning about home recording. I searched for a conductor score which would provide all the necessary orchestral instrumentation. 4 weeks later and nearly 370 multi-track overdubs..."
For many years music has been the guiding light as a form of expression and creativity and it is my hope and desire that the talents given to me may serve as point of inspiration just as other's before me have encouraged and challenged my desire to develop and realize my dreams.
In my experience as a musician I have discovered a way to "give back" to the music community that has enriched my appreciation for the arts.Band/artist history
Spring 1977, it was all over! When I heard Jimmy Page hit the open "D" string and toggle the pickup selector switch and launch into the live version of "The Song Remains the Same", I knew my life would never quite "remain the same"...
Having spent a few years playing Trumpet, French horn and Trombone in various Junior High School Jazz Bands and Orchestra’s I was completely oblivious to this style of heavy guitar driven music.
This newfound discovery would become a sonic obsession as this new universe unveiled itself. The first order of business was to learn how to play guitar, my sister was taking lessons and had a nylon classical guitar and she quickly lost the desire to learn so there it wasA "real guitar" to practice with and learn how to play like my new guitar hero’s.
I signed up for Lessons with a really great teacher, Philippe Willens who in turn was a student of the Legendary "Chord Chemist" Ted Greene. After a few years studying with Philippe I was fortunate enough to take a few Lessons with Ted Greene, sadly though I was just out of high school and did not have enough money to continue studying with Ted.
For the next 10-15 years I was involved with a very successful "local" heavy/thrash metal band and just about the time when every single L.A. metal band was getting signed we were right there primed for national stardom but as fate would have it, we were forced to kick the singer out and could never quite regain the momentum once obtained.
Interestingly enough, once the metal band thing was over, my guitars went into storage not to be reopened for many years, up until about June 2003 I had not put in many hours on the fret board but all that dramatically changed when I was acting as a computer consultant to TBD and Alliance PFL, who service many of the music industry leaders for their promotion and printing needs.
Whilst there, Taylor Guitars were always being played in the executive offices and it struck me like lightning "That’s right..! I play too!"ever since it has been non stop, The guitar cases are always open, I reunited with Ted Greene after 20 long years and have invested in recording gear and needless to say, I am having the time of my life......!Have you performed in front of an audience?Currently I am investing most of my time into Recording and learning the fundamentals of engeneering with Pro Tools.

Bloody awesome Mr Sindel!!!
Hi Dan, I checked out your website; man you've got some awesome stuff posted. You have one of the most unique styles of playing that I've ever heard. I'm not sure if you have a myspace account setup, if you do, I'd be honored to have you in my "Friends Space".
I hope you and your family have a fantastic Christmas holiday, Take care!
Steve
Hi Dan; Steven from Liverpool NS Canada. I am entirely blown away by your abilities. I am a huge fan of classical music, so when I saw "Canon" by Pachelbel I decided to stop in and give your page a look. I was actually expecting to find the "Canon Rock" version that everyone else has been doing, but your version is truly amazing. I really enjoyed all of the songs and I hope you decide to put more up. Best of luck and god bless !
